Blue Glass Highway
by: VacabouI dreamt (that) I was driving away on a blue glass highway
I knew that this day was the day
And that's why I feel the way I feel
I'm still running, blue glass all over the place
My life seems nothing
You've got to push me today, push me baby
The brake's squeaks resound for a while increasing the violence
Of knowing it all comes to an end
And that's why I scream the way I scream
I feel like laughing, blue glass all over my face
My life was nothing
